Description
NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
Problem Definition
Confluence Data Center requires running synchrony in a separate cluster. Synchrony is a Java application, but doesn't implement ServiceMain, so it can't be run as a Windows service natively.
Therefore, Synchrony cannot be run out of the box as a Windows service and requires manually starting and stopping via the start-synchrony.bat and stop-synchrony.bat scripts.
There is a note in Configuring Synchrony For Data Center regarding this issue:
It's currently not possible to run Synchrony as a service on Windows.
Synchrony does support running as a linux service, natively:
- Run Synchrony Standalone As A Service On Linux (for 6.5 and newer)
- Run Synchrony Standalone As A Service On Linux For Confluence 6.4 And Earlier
Suggested Solution
Provide out-of-the-box ability to run Synchrony as a Windows service for Enterprise customers.
Why this is important
- Enterprise customers cannot rely on manually running scripts or developing their own service scripts to run Synchrony.
- Windows is a supported platform for Confluence Data Center.
Workaround
- Run just Synchrony on a linux node (assuming the rest of the cluster is on Windows) using the instructions linked above.
- Use 3rd party tools to run Synchrony on Windows
